C. This polynomial could be factored only by using the perfect squares method.
D. This polynomial could be factored by using grouping or the perfect squares methods.
E. This polynomial could be factored only by using the difference of squares method.
F. This polynomial cannot be factored by any of the methods used in this lesson.

A. This polynomial could be factored by finding the GCF, then by grouping or using the perfect squares method.

Step-by-step explanation:

2x^3 + 4x^2 + 2x

First factor out the GCF

2x ( x^2 + 2x +1)

Then factor the inside by either using grouping or recognizing that this is a perfect square  a^2 + 2ab + b^2 = ( a+b) ^2

2x ( x^2 + 2 * x * 1 + 1^2)

2x ( x+1) ^2

A. This polynomial could be factored by finding the GCF, then by grouping or using the perfect squares method.

Step-by-step explanation:

2x^3+4x^2+2x

factor common term 2x

= 2x (x² + 2x + 1)

then factor x² + 2x + 1 to (x + 1)(x + 1)

= 2x (x + 1)(x + 1)

refining the equation

= 2x (x + 1)²

what the hell man, i just want the points lol

i think it is c, not positive though
